The Aransas Pass Police Department posted Monday on its Facebook page the city's water no longer requires boiling prior to use.

On Aug. 27, two days after Hurricane Harvey hit the city, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the Aransas Pass public water system to issue a notice that all residents should boil their water before drinking or consumption, the post states.

Since then, the public water system has taken corrective actions and provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that show water no longer needs to be boiled before consumption, the post reads.
